MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is a security method that requires more than one form of verification to grant access to an account or system. In addition to the traditional password, the user must provide a second factor, such as a code generated by an authenticator app, a physical security key, or a code sent via SMS. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if the password is compromised.
Enabling MFA in the Cloud8 Dashboard #
In the left-hand menu, click on “ Users ”. Select the user you want to configure MFA for and click the “ MFA ” button.
Select the MFA option . A QR code and an alphanumeric code will be generated. Use an authentication app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.) to take a picture of the QR code or manually enter the code.
Click “ Save ” to complete the process. From then on, to access the system, you will need to select the MFA option on the Cloud8 login screen.
NOTE: Implementing multifactor authentication helps reduce security risks and detect suspicious login attempts.
